u own the house
then there is something u did not think of ..........in one of the rooms in the house u can build a floating wall and in that wall u make a panel that u can remove (child magnetic locks to hold the panel in place )
it is hidden and u seem to have some building skills .............the only thing we are trying to tell u is the heat issue (so far no one has been it with out a massive power bill) and the fact the plants are going to do poorly due to the low amount of Co2 they have access too at that height
and from my end your Light those CFLs are going to be too weak the best i was able to do was just little over a oz per plant with CFLs i changed to Hid and i got 4 times that amount from the same strain soil and feed ..........then i moved to LED and co2 enrichment that broke the old record did 6 oz 20 grams on that strain .....this next clip i think i am looking at 8 oz
(as the plant grows up u move the light up so the lower branches do not get enough light to live so they yellow up u move in more CFLs at staggered lvls to give the plant light at all lvls .....the heat factor will get u )
Then I sure hope everything works out well.
Question that you may have answered already, did you use your existing ac duct that is for your home?
And if your running passive intake, wouldn't it just run the house ac constantly?
I wanted to do that in my closet but didn't for that reason. Would love to know. Thanks.

I just want to mention everyone is right here. You can grow in an attic, I do. But i also have a 24,000 btu mini split. And a friend who studied thermodynamics to become an engineer. The real trick is fans, use fans to equalize the temp to the temp outside, then crank the ac. I run a 6k room, with one 24,000 btu ac and dehumidifiers. temps go 80- 86. run at night. ( Dont push your ac, it will break.. )
So with all that being said, ive put my soul into this. If you want to do it in an attic, and its all you got..Do it, but the summer will be tuff until you get equipment. Winter is your friend though, so when that comes around by some real light! anyways have an awesome day!

Yeah, I convinced my wife to let me have one closet out of a 5 bedroom house! lol problem is about every 3 months family from both side come out of state to visit. So that box might be my move box when they come. Would easily hold 75 degrees for whenever i need it. Plus, I don't want to keep going into the attic, feeling like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone lol. Well see how it goes. No lost really just time spent building box, materials i got free. TY
Finally!
And I'm doing the floating wall as mentioned now since I'm tired of a closet. Split a bedroom in half and no one will no about the other side. Use sound panels on the wall facing the room and then build boxes with sound material around each inline fan. Not difficult with the skills you have and a little youtube...

if u add a vent on the lower part of the wall to allow the area to pull in cool air .........make sure on the back side u put ducting so no one can see strait in and to add some mess screen in the middle of it to block a fiber optic camera from going tho
for cops to tare the house up they need a special warrant from a judge to cover their ass legally in case they do not find anything .......a search warrant only allows them to look and open doors and locked things
and if u are making a small door make sure u leave room to clip and harvest in that area since the plant will get damaged trying to squeeze tho
